Question

Which of the following best describes the importance of the Monte Verde site? Group of answer choices It provides solid evidence for the Bering Land Bridge Theory, where the earliest settlers are from far northeast Asia. It conclusively links the Solutrean (French) and Clovis (US) cultures. It provides definitive evidence for post-Clovis occupations because of metal found. It is indicative of marine dependence during the Paleo-Indian period. It includes the very earliest human skeletons ever found in the New World.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is It provides solid evidence for the Bering Land Bridge Theory, where the earliest settlers are from Far Northeast Asia.

Explanation:

Monte Verde is an archaeological site in southern Chile, which has been dated to as early as 16,500 BC. This dating added to the evidence showing that the human settlement of the Americas pre-dates the Clovis culture by roughly 1000 years. Therefore, it can't either conclusively links the Solutrean (French) and Clovis (US) cultures or provides definitive evidence for post-Clovis occupations. Next, that the route that early settlers traveled is now submerged underwater contradicts the statement that it is indicative of marine dependence during the Paleo-Indian period. Finally, the very earliest human skeletons ever found in the New World was actually found in Pedro Leopoldo, Brazil.

Answer 2

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.  

Which of the following best describes the importance of the Monte Verde site?

a. It provides solid evidence for the Bering Land Bridge Theory.

b. It conclusively links the Solutrean and Clovis cultures.

c. It provides definitive evidence for pre-Clovis occupations.

d. It is indicative of marine dependence during the Paleo-Indian period.

e. It contains evidence for the earliest skeletons in the New World.

Answer: c. It provides definitive evidence for pre-Clovis occupations.

Explanation:

Monte Verde (Chile) is believed to be a Pre-Clovis site in the Americas, for its evidence of human occupation dating around 12,000 B.C.E, an estimation based on organic material and tools found there.

It´s discovery meant a radical change from the Clovis-First theory that up to then prevailed among archaeologists had about human settlement in the Americas.
